It's Saturday ... July 1 ... I put an alert in about an hour ago ... for CVA below 16.75 ... it got triggered already ... I don't really understand after hours trading much ...


questions:


***********************************************************
through ECN's can traders make trades anytime they want?
***********************************************************


**********************************************************************
through telechart is there a way for me to know what stocks are selling for in the premarket hours just before the market opens ?
*********************************************************************


********************************************************************
Just before the open do the inside bid and ask offer fairly accurate information? I notice frequently there's such a wide spread that they clearly aren't accurate ... maybe that observation was an anomoly ...

FOLLOWUP NOTE:

By the way, CVA closed at 17.65 on Friday ... again, the alert was set for 16.75


Question:

altough the alert shows on the triggered alert screen ... it did not generate an email ... any idea why that would be ... other alerts have generated emails ... i never checked for their timeliness ... are these email alerts delayed quite a bit ?

No. The trading hours for ECNs are set by the invidual market. INET, for example, is open every day that the primary equity markets are open for trading. On these days, INET generally accepts orders between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, but will extend these hours as demand increases.

No. TeleChart does not provide pricing information during pre- and post-market trading.


Your alert on CVA was triggered at $16.85. I checked the price logs and there was one trade at $17.65 recorded at the close, up from $16.85. Not sure why the alert server didn't record this last trading price, but we'll check into it. This was based on normal hours trading activity, not after-market trading.

I am moving this to ASK A TRAINER. It does not belong in SUGGESTIONS.

ALerts do not work on this system. Every time I contact the company I get some lip service. Wh do I need to contact to hear an honest answer? Do I need to contact someone in the Ag's office? I'm very frustrated!
